Bärbel Wöckel (née Eckert; born 21 March 1955) is a former East German sprinter.

However, she ran several world records as part of relay teams with Doris Maletzki, Renate Stecher and Christina Heinich over 4 x 100 meters, the last time on September 8, 1974, in Rome.

Documents uncovered after the fall of communism showed that during this time Wöckel, like many of her East German colleagues, participated in the state-organized doping program.

[1] She won a gold medal at the 1974 European Championships as the anchor of the 4 × 100 m relay, which set a world record of 42.50.

Her rival, Marita Koch, complained in a letter that Bärbel received higher doses of steroids than her, because she had relatives in the company Jenapharm.
